Coffee. Deli. Beer. Wine. Cocktails. Charm.


Opening soon in Melrose, MN—where the coffee’s bold, the sandwiches are made from scratch, and the patio’s waiting for you.

What We’re Serving

We like it hot. We like it cold. We like it made from scratch.

From hot sandwiches to cold pours, crisp salads to crafted flatbreads—everything on our menu is made with care, character, and a touch of drama.

Hot Gigs. Cool People.

We’re hiring a small-but-mighty crew of coffee lovers, sandwich slingers, and service pros with personality. If you bring the hustle, we’ll bring the espresso.

Our Story

A Little Story with a Lot of Steam


Shanna followed her heart—and a few espresso shots—into opening her first café. With decades of experience, a wild streak, and a knack for making people feel at home, she built Some Like It Hot from the ground up (in heels, probably).
